"As an avid high heel wearer, sophistication is an absolute must in my book.

The black Protege heels fit me like a glove. My feet did not slide in these and I felt very secure walking around and liked the height it provided. The insole was cushioned and felt great underneath my feet unlike pins and needles of other heels previously worn. "

About the Designer

I had always loved the aesthetics of high heels, but couldn't wear them due my pain-sensitive feet.

So I set out to tackle the problem of 'my feet hurt!' with my background in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and 8 yrs of product design experience.

After countless prototypes and iterations, I'm proud to bring you stilettos that are as wearable as they are elegant!
